Which shoes?

Kelly's picture of her snake print shoes pushed me over the brink and I am ready to order while my size is still there...but which pair? I cannot decide between the snake and snow leopard - what YLF wisdom suggests for me?

Hmmm. This is tough. I find leopard print incredibly versatile and it would work as a semi-bookended to your hair. Useful. But you already have the leopard smoking slippers. Would these be worn in similar outfits or different?

Snakeskin is also great. I like my snakeskin booties a lot and I can see these working well with white, cream, ink, and other blue outfits.

My leo loafers are regular orange-brown color and these ones are white / black - the same colors as snake skin. The difference as I see it - snakeskin is a subtler pattern and leo is a bolder one. I like them both and this is where the problem is! Suz, this is Rack so I will be ordering from US and would like not to return <sigh>

Beth, they remind me a bit of Angie's cow print Okalas - I guess this is what makes them so attractive for me. If these were the cow print in white and black I would not be thinking one more minute! :0(

The leopard reads warmer to me and the snake cooler. So I would probably go with snake if you prefer to wear it with cooler tones (grey, black, optic white, silver) or leopard if you prefer to wear it with warmer tones (brown, gold, cream). The snake does seem a little more subtle and neutral (but the leopard is good too!)

But now, you naughty woman, yo have me thinking about the warmer toned leopard version for myself! I am always looking for almost-flats that will stay on my feet -- this could be the ticket. Hmmmm......
